I’m traveling a lot right now, so it’s up to me to keep my workouts fun and interesting. If you follow me on snapchat (CeCeOlisa) you’ve seen me walking, swimming, boxing, etc. Yesterday I was working out in my parents back yard. I realized that I haven’t created a one song workout for you girls in a while, so I took my camera and started messing around to “Work”, by Rihanna. Shout out to AceMula for this remix! I think it’s easy to take fitness too seriously, but movement is fun and makes me happy so I do it and I share it with you girls. Send Me this Workout Video! Is this my most perfect workout ever? Nope,…

I know I don’t need to explain to you how easy it is to skip workouts during the holidays– augh. It’s getting dark and cold pretty quickly here in NYC, so when I look out the window or step outside I just want to run back inside and hibernate. Not to mention my schedule between Thanksgiving and Christmas is just bananas. In the PSP Squad facebook group, some of my girls were asking for tips to stay healthy during the holidays. I don’t think it’s fair to try and overhaul your whole lifestyle during the holidays, so I’m not going to suggest anything extreme, but we can do our best to maintain where we are during the holidays, right? So here are four things…

Last week, I walked into a new dance class confident I was about to get a good workout — and that I could keep up with the others. Instead, the classed moved quickly with little instruction, and I saw my classmates expertly perform the routine while I flailed my arms and legs awkwardly. It was not what I was expecting. Group fitness classes can be great, but taking an open level class often means there are some moves I’m not quite ready for. All of our bodies have limitations, no matter how athletic we are (or aren’t) and we should never be ashamed — or worse, stop going to fitness classes — just because we need a modification or two.…

You girls know I love a good pop song and “Shut Up and Dance with Me” by Walk the Moon is near perfect. I’ve been jamming to it on the subway and I thought it would make for a great “one song workout” video. The steps for this one are easy and if you watch any of my other plus size workout videos you know there are two things to remember: Feel free to modify your jumping jacks by marching in place and pumping your arms Squat back, not down to protect your knees Have fun!

I get emails every week asking for tips on how to work out with “bad knees”. There are lots of jumping jacks, lunges and squats in my plus size workout videos, but I totally understand that not everyone can do those things. To be honest, I wasn’t always able to do those things! When my weight was higher, I often had sore joints that made certain exercises uncomfortable for me. Having weak or sore knees might get in the way of our health goals, but I never want you girls to feel discouraged. In my experience there are modifications for almost everything!! When I modified my workouts, I was still able to get the results I was looking for and eventually I didn’t…

Usually my plus size workout videos are mostly cardio, but this time I decided to make something different for you. I always blush when you girls compliment my legs. My grandmother was known for her legs, so I’ll give props to genetics, but I maintain what my granny gave me with my #PSPfit workouts. I love a good leg workout, so I made a one song workout for us that’s all legs! I do these moves on the subway, in line at the grocery store, while I’m washing dishes… whenever! If you like this workout and want to use it, I’ll send you a free version that you can download and add to your workout video collections. Get it below… Leggings: Here | Top:…

Today I posted on my facebook page that working out makes me feel loved and valuable. My body is worth love and good treatment at any size, health and fitness is the best way for me to do that. Ditching a baggy T-shirt and wearing cute plus size workout clothes, is my way of reminding myself that my fitness is just as important as anyone else in the gym. Creating plus size workout videos for the launch of Lane Bryant’s Livi Active Collection has been a blast!! Thank you to everyone who shared the videos on social media, your support online and in person has been so amazing! Be sure to check out my Launch Party event recap here. Today, I’ve got another workout…

I promise I’ll get back to my plus size dating and plus size fashion posts soon, but it’s pretty important for me to start 2015 with a focus on health and fitness. For me, finding cute clothes (and cute boyfriends) means nothing if my health isn’t in order so it’s only right to highlight that big girls DO work out, big girls DO eat healthy and big girls DO look cute while we rock a healthy curves lifestyle *hair flip* Remember, January 10th from 2-4pm is the #PSPfit Livi Launch Party at 150 Lane Bryant Stores around the United States! I’ll be hosting at the Newport Centre Mall in Jersey City, but there is a full store list (organized by…
